Happy Donabe Life

Dashi Chazuke

Chazuke (or Ochazuke) is a simple bowl of comfort. It’s basically a bowl of plain rice with your choice of topping(s), and tea or dashi is poured over. During the summer, I eat cold chazuke (with cold rice and cold tea/ dashi) a lot and keeps me cool. Once the weather getting cooler, I enjoy freshly-cooked steamy donabe rice with seasoned hot dashi over it. So soothing! My go-to toppings are canned oil sardines which I always stock in pantry with shio-kombu. Wasabi can add a nice accent, too.

Happy Donabe Life!
